The Museum of Health Care launched a new web-based project this month that offers a closer look at its hidden gems of medical history. From the Collection features 30 short profiles on many of the artifacts in the museum's collection, organized by theme and illustrated with high-resolution images. Each profile page also includes a section for users' comments. The link itself acts as a portal to the museum's main collections database, offering viewers the opportunity to browse more than 30,000 artifacts - from surgical tools to laboratory instruments. Funded by the Ontario Museums and Technology Fund, the project is part of a larger initiative at the museum to update its website and offer more free online resources. From the Collection can be found at museumofhealthcare.ca/research-and-collections.
